Microsoft has emphasized that, even if it's listening to the community concerning the Xbox One, this doesn't mean that it's going to change the different policies concerning the next-gen console, such as the restrictive DRM (Digital Rights Management) system imposed on used games.

The Xbox One is out in November, and Microsoft relayed some big details in recent weeks, with the most controversial being the way it handles used games and how the console needs to connect to the Internet every 24 hours in order to continue playing games.

While Microsoft is listening to feedback from fans, executive Phil Spencer emphasized that it won't start making sweeping changes to its policy concerning used games or online connectivity.

"We listen to the community and we will respond to where the business, the creators, and the gamers are going. But I don't want to people to take that wrong. Our policy is our policy, and we've stated it," he told Game Informer.

Microsoft's forward-thinking policies, however, have driven many longtime fans to the PlayStation 4.
